Webinar: Drought Series
A webinar that summarizes what we’re seeing for California drought restrictions and recommendations for advanced programming tools.
May 2022
In times of drought, California faces new regulations from water agencies, stressed landscapes, and increased risk of fires.
Across the entire state of California, droughts are extremely prevalent. At times, 96% of the state is in an extreme drought. There are upwards of almost 400 water agencies in California, and all of them have a different water supply situation. Droughts tighten restrictions for those agencies, and put them under enormous amounts of pressure. This pressure has a cascading effect on every individual and organization in that particular area.
Join our latest installment of the “Drought in the West” series. This presentation features special guest Maureen Erbeznik, a Southern California-based water expert who works with organizations to implement and execute programs for water use efficiency.
In this webinar we’ll discuss:
- How you can maximize water efficiency and level up your water management
- The current state of affairs for California water
- Success stories from water managers who have deftly managed drought restrictions
- Rebates and incentives available for California water conservation
- What drought restrictions mean for the average water manager
